Sleep helps us learn

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?

British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9–16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.

Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not 'Will robots replace teachers?' but 'How can robots help teachers?' Office workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

About Teru Teru Bozu
Teru Teru Bozu is a traditional Japanese doll.
Children make it when they don’t want it to rain, such as before a sports day or a school trip.

Teru Teru Bozu is made from white paper or tissue.
Sometimes it doesn’t have a face, but some people draw a face after the next day if it is sunny.

People hang the doll outside and say,
"Please make the weather sunny tomorrow."
This custom has been passed down for many years in Japanese culture.

Good Evening :D 


I support your language goal(s) and I am here for anyone who needs my help. I just feel upset when a student tells me that they hate how they sound when they speak. They often only look up to native speakers.

A native speaker is someone who had a head start and you are playing catch-up.

Enjoy the process and know that ALL of us (teachers) are proud of you!

Good luck everyone! 

PS; My personal goal is to start learning Japanese this year. The journey is going to be a long one and I hope I will take my own advice when the time comes.

بْلَادْ الشَام هي أَرْبَعَة دُوَلْ, سوريا و الأُرْدُن و فِلِسْطِين ولبنان.
مِن نَاحِية المَسَاحَة سوريا أَكْبَر شِي وبَعْدَين الأُرْدُن وبَعِدْهَا فْلِسْطِينْ وأَصْغَر شِي لِبْنَان.
الأُرْدُن بِالجَنُوب وفِيهَا البَحْر المَيِّت.
لِبْنَان وفِلْسِطِين بِالغَرْب وَجُزْء كْبِير مِنْهُم عالسَاحِل.
سُورْيَا بِالشَمَال وجُزْء صْغِير مِنْهَا عالسَاحِل.
على كُلٍّ, بْلَاد الشَام كَانِت أَحْلَى لَمَّا كَانِت بَلَد وَاحِد
